Upcoming Volunteer Events
Saturday, October 24, 2026
(Rain Date Sunday October 25)
9:00 AM–12:00 PM
Please check in at the warming hut.
We will begin promptly at 9:00am.
With nearly all effort being directed this summer to the NE Woods, there is MUCH work to be done in the main park. This is an “all hands on deck” appeal for your help on the 24th, so bring a friend or two (or three!), if you’re able!
We will be mulching the youngest trees and some of the planting beds along Millman to prepare them for winter and block weeds come spring.
Bring work gloves. We have some rakes, shovels and wheelbarrows, but a few extra rakes would be helpful. Coffee, water and sweets will be provided!
